High-scoring senior guard Josh Cameron was dismissed from Christian Life and is now attending Racine Park, Wishoops.net reported recently.

His eligibility status for the 2009-10 basketball season remains in doubt.

“Josh will be petitioning the WIAA to be allowed to play this season,” CLS coach Steve Powell told Wishoops.net editor Mark Miller. “This is all I can say about the situation. Josh broke school policies and was dismissed.”

Ranked No. 20 in the state among seniors by WisSports.net, Cameron finished sixth in the state in scoring as a junior at 24.1 points per game. He also averaged 4.3 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 3.1 steals en route to being named first-team All-Midwest Classic South and first-team All-County.

He averaged 20 points per game as a sophomore when he attended Parkway Christian in Oak Creek.

Cameron has been receiving recruiting interest from a number of scholarship schools, including Ball State, Charleston, Columbia, North Dakota and SIU-Edwardsville.

If the WIAA grants eligibility for Cameron at Park, he will join a veteran team picked by many to win the Southeast Conference title. The Panthers return three starters from a team that finished 18-4 last season. They also had a 19-1 junior varsity team and an 18-1 freshman squad.
